Name of creator
Algoma Central Telephone Company
Administrative history
The Algoma Central Telephone Company was incorporated in 1936 with a capitalization of $10,000. The 1899 charter of Algoma Central Railway allowed for it to operate telephone and telegraph lines along its rail lines. The company had operated a private line for the use of the company, but with the reopening of the Helen Mine in 1936, a telephone line was needed to link Wawa to Sault Ste. Marie. In February of 1957 two unsolicited offers were received to purchase the company. The Algoma Central Railway board decided to accept the offer by the Northern Telephone Company Ltd.
